A Beginner's Guide to Microdosing Psilocybin
Whether you're seeking enhanced creativity, improved mental clarity, or a deeper connection to the world around you, microdosing psilocybin mushrooms can be an intriguing path to explore. However, it's essential to approach this journey responsibly and understand it fully. Here is a beginner's guide to microdosing psilocybin!
Understanding Microdosing
Microdosing involves consuming a small, sub-perceptual quantity of a psychedelic substance. In the case of psilocybin, this means taking a dose too small to cause any hallucinogenic effects, yet enough to potentially affect cognition and perception positively.
Preparation
Before starting your Microdosing journey, you must do your research, understand the legal implications in your area, and consult with a healthcare professional. It's also essential to source your psilocybin from a reliable and safe supplier.
Microdosing Regimen
The most popular Microdosing regimen is the 'Fadiman protocol,' named after Dr. James Fadiman, a leading researcher in psychedelics. This involves taking a microdose once every three days – one day on, two days off.
Another protocol is the Stamet’s protocol, which involves taking a Microdose stacked with other natural supplements, in this case, Lion’s mane mushroom and Niacin or Vitamin B3
Dosage
A typical Microdose of psilocybin is between 0.1g - 0.5g, depending on the individual's body weight, sensitivity, and personal goals.
Remember, the aim is not to experience a ‘trip,’ but to amplify your everyday experience subtly.
Monitoring Effects
Keep a journal to document changes in feelings, productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. This will help you monitor the effects of Microdosing and adjust accordingly.
Safety and Self-care
While Microdosing psilocybin, it's essential to take care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. Ensure you're eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and taking time to relax and unwind.
I understand that exploring the world of Microdosing can be both exciting and intimidating.
Whether you are new to Microdosing, looking to refine your practice, or looking for more in-depth information, I created The Microdosing Psilocybin Pocket Guide, a comprehensive tool designed to help you embark on your journey of Microdosing with empathy and understanding.
This pocket guide is packed with practical tips, dosage suggestions, protocols, and safety information—all presented in a clear and accessible format that ensures that you have the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions that align with your unique needs and intentions.
I hope that this guide will be an empowering tool to use on your transformative journey toward self-discovery and personal growth.
Although many people report positive experiences with Microdosing psilocybin, it's essential to remember that everyone's experience is unique, and individual results may vary. Always approach this practice respectfully and responsibly.

We all have habits we’d love to build—whether it’s exercising more, meditating daily, or simply being more present in our relationships. On the flip side, there are also habits we’d rather leave behind, like doom-scrolling, procrastinating, or hitting snooze one too many times. But changing habits isn’t easy. Our brains love routine, even when it doesn’t serve us. That’s where neuroplasticity comes in—the brain’s ability to rewire itself and adapt to new behaviors. And here’s where things get even more interesting: microdosing has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity, making it a potential game-changer for implementing new habits and letting go of old ones. I’m not here to make bold claims or tell you microdosing is a magic pill. But based on both research and personal experience, I’ve found it to be a powerful tool for rewiring patterns in a way that feels natural, fluid, and sustainable. Let’s break it down.
Our ability to adapt, learn, and bounce back from challenges is grounded in the brain’s remarkable ability to change. Whether we're developing new habits, learning something new, or processing emotions, the brain is constantly evolving. This capacity to rewire itself is at the heart of personal growth, and the more we understand about this process, the more we can optimize it. One of the key players in this ability to adapt is Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF. You may have heard about it, but what exactly is it, and why does it matter?
